I’m just not buying any of it at the minute, especially not while Real Madrid are still claiming that they have had no offers for the player they now want €40m for.

It’s all a little too convenient and given what has already gone before in this saga it would be a fool who would believe these reports until there is something a bit more substantial behind them. And even then I wouldn’t be convinced given how this story has gone so far.

Besides, wasn’t Higuain sidelined by Mourinho when he was Real Madrid manager?

It all seems odd to me. And a little too convenient as I said.

Of course, I could be wrong.

Other reports coming out of Spain claim that Arsenal have taken a step back from Higuain in recent weeks. Not surprising really given how Real Madrid have behaved in regards to his asking price.
